I agree that reading on the Web makes me browse. Web content is usually short enough to fit the screen, and there are so many distractions. (And it&#39;s not exclusive to reading books and magazines on-line, based on how often I check my email at work!) But I can&#39;t take the printed word pledge, because I don&#39;t find reading e-ink, like the Kindle, to be the same. Unlike the iPad, it is meant for reading, and following links is possible but very slow. I can take the pledge to continue reading books and magazines though, in a combination of print and e-ink.Gailnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8554151135053115684.post-55790002561576457612010-02-03T21:12:00.420-08:002010-02-03T21:12:00.420-08:00Fascinating article.

I see now that I&#39;m teaching my brain to &quot;power browse&quot; instead of reading for content. But here&#39;s my antidote: each day I have a reading hour where I sit in a room with no computer or radio or TV and read an actual book. It&#39;s a great pleasure and I pledge to keep doing it.Charlottehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14458186380118480572noreply@blogger.com
